Last Week’s Stats: .583 BA (7-for-12), .667 OBP, 6 R, 3 RBI, 1 2B, 2 BB, 2-2 SB
Giampolo opened the 2026 campaign on a tear at the plate. In Wagner’s five-game stretch at the La Jolla Invitational, the sophomore infielder/designated player registered at least one hit in each of those contests to calculate a .583 batting average with a 7-for-12 clip. In addition, Giampolo accounted for more than half of her team’s scoring on the weekend after she drove in three runs and crossed home six times. The Garden State product had a big game in Sunday’s 6-0 win over Montana. Scoring her team’s first and final runs of the outing, she put her team up by a 4-0 count in the bottom of the second with a two-run base hit. In the Seahawks’ finale against Saint Loius, she crossed home twice in the top of the third and the top of the fifth to tie up the game, an eventual 5-3 defeat. This is Gimapolo’s first-ever NEC Player of the Week award.
